Libertarians are NOT about rich corporations

Libertarians are mostly about small businesses. We want the government out of business affairs so that it's easier for small businesses to flourish.

Lefties always argue that "libertarians only care about the big corporations. without the government restricting them, they will monopolize and rule the world.". In fact it's the opposite. The big corporations love these restrictions because they are making it really hard for small businesses to even get off the ground, let alone compete with them.

Basically, libertarians want to make it easier for people to start their own businesses, and have less people relying on corporations for their salaries. More businesses means more competion, and a less crowded job market which makes it a lot harder companies to overwork and underpay their employees.

You seem fairly inept at economics. Let me lay it down to you. If you deport all mexican aliens (to whom you seem to harbour a special dislike) and build a israeli wall along the rio grande you will accomplish these things.
1) The jobs the mexicans took either increase their wage or are not filled, ie the company goes out of business. This is also true if the work done is to harsh for poor americans to endure.
2) Increased wages mean increased prices for the consumer, in this case most likely produce prices. Higher prices mean inflation which are NOT good for the economy.
3) Companies who earlier could do business due to low wages and now have no profitability any longer fires all their remaing employees, and all along the distribution chain this effect is noticed (less cargo to haul means less jobs for truck drivers etc). This is also bad for the economy.

Neoliberal economists have long said that an unemployment rate around 10% is healhty for an economy (since it supress wages and therefore prices and therefore inflation). I think that is bullshit but since im a communist i dont need to worry my pretty little head about it, they are not theachers i listen too. But you are a libertarian...
